Feature changes for customizing your YouTube channel
Translated channel sections and vertical section layout will be discontinued July 15, 2020. We’re also redesigning featured channels to increase visibility on mobile. These features were rarely used and we’re removing them to simplify your experience, as well as focus on bringing channel customization to YouTube Studio later this year. Learn more.
You can organize and promote content that you want to highlight on your channel using YouTube channel sections. A section lets you group videos together to help your audience decide what to watch. You can have up to 10 sections on one channel.
